Shutter Island? It's 9 past 9!

Just got back from the premiere of Shutter Island at Southbank with Michelle and Greg. Saw it on the IMAX screen which is...big. Leonardo DiCaprio (carrying a few extra pounds I might add) the same size as an office block is a little scary.


Before we went to the movie we managed to shove some Vietnamese food down in about 10 minutes. Very yummy food - would love to go back there when we had a little bit more time. Here's Greeeeeeeeg enjoying his spring roll vermicelli noodles with the sauce that tastes good but smells likes feet:

And here is Michelle with her rice paper rolls. Gluten free of course.

Michelle did take a shot of me with my insanely delicious chicken salad but it mysteriously disappeared from my phone. You can kinda see it in the Greg picture so I guess that's ok.

Anyway back to the movies, we ran into Andrea and Clint waiting to go in and we had a lovely chat about work and all the good times we have there :-) After having our mobile phones taken from us and then being frisked for other recording devices, we were allowed in and found 90% of the fundraising team (and strangely Santa Paws) sitting behind us.


The movie was loooooong, but it was pretty good. I think I thought I knew the story and then got confused when it changed towards the end, while everyone around me was going "ahhhhh". Either way it was a good movie and worth watching, but bring snacks. And a cushion for your butt.


Then we left and collected our phones (1 missed call and a message thank you very much!) and went to validate our parking. Then the comedy began as the chicky behind the counter says to Greg "what movie did you watch today?" and Greg pulls out his phone and says to her "9 past 9". Brows furrowed and an awkward pause ensued until Michelle swooped with the correct answer of Shutter Island and our parking was validated and we were on our way. With Greg protesting all the way that she actually asked "what time does your watch say?" I guess we'll never really know what happened.....
